Seismic design of API 650 carbon steel tank

API 650 petroleum storage tank stipulates that if the thickness of the lower siding obtained by calculating the anti-overturning moment is greater than the thickness of the API 650 carbon steel tank hydrostatic pressure test (both do not include the corrosion margin), the calculated thickness of the above siding required by the hydrostatic pressure is It should also be increased by the same proportion, unless special analysis is performed to determine the seismic overturning moment and corresponding stress at the bottom of each layer of API 650 petroleum storage tank wall.

Insulation Load
For API 620 tanks designed and constructed with an outer tank containing loose fill insulation in the annular space between the tanks, the insulation weight shall be divided equally to the inner and outer tank wall for seismic lateral loads unless a more rigorous analysis is performed to determine the distribution. The insulation within the annular space shall not be used to calculate resistance to overturning. Insulation on the API 650 carbon steel tank roof or suspended deck shall be applied to the tank supporting the load at the point or center of gravity of attachment and may be used to resist overturning.

Oil storage tank is an important equipment commonly used in petroleum and petrochemical industry. New API 650 carbon steel tank, metal storage tank must be tested before it can be put into use or put into storage. The common inspection methods of API 650 carbon steel tank include radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing and dye penetrant testing. The parts and operation requirements of these testing methods are different, so they should be selected according to the required characteristics.

Group consciousness is an important psychological factor for the formation of enterprise internal cohesion. The formation of API 650 carbon steel tank enterprise group consciousness makes every employee of the enterprise regard their work and behavior as an integral part of the realization of enterprise goals, make them feel proud of themselves as a member of the enterprise, have a sense of honor for the achievements of the enterprise, and thus regard the API 650 carbon steel tank enterprise as the community and belonging of their own interests.
